Just a tip for your first year, don't buy 235 blueberries like I did. Once you plant them, every day you have to water them all. And by the time you're done, its 5:00 PM and your energy is almost gone. By this point you probably haven't reached lv 40 in the mines which it where you find iron to make sprinklers (the iron one hardly clear any space anyways. Golden ones are the only one's anywhere near efficient) sure, every day you can go to the spa and gain energy, but by the time you're done, it's like 7:00 which means you have barely any time to do anything. It traps you in a stalemate for the rest of the season

[@averagechannelname9969]

God yes. Watering is such a pain in the ass. Upgrading my watering can was the best thing ever, even just to copper level. Three instead of one space made a hell of a difference

a tip for anyone who wants to know: Hops are a summer seed that produce EVERYDAY after full growth, they don’t sell for much ( I can’t remember the price so maybe it’s in the middle value for crops) but the money adds up over time so they’re valuable if you plant a shit load.

[@Soprie]

The purpose for flowers is increasing the value of your honey. (Also tulips are a loved gift by evelyn if you're trying to get friendship. Even just plant one and save it for her birthday) However, jazz honey will be more valuable than tulip honey. Plant your flowers within (I think 5?) squares of a beehive and they will produce honey from that flower instead of wild honey. A higher quality flower will take priority over a lower one, so if you plant tulip and jazz beside each other, it will make jazz honey.

[@spare7230]

[@david2869]

I've been playing SDV for over 1000 hours and I only just recently realized this: Tulips actually have a use! They make bad honey and you can't sell them for anything but tulips are the best early food crop! Tulips cost as much as parsnips, 20g, to plant but they give 45 energy as opposed to 25 energy from parsnips. Although kale provides the best energy per plot in the spring (50 energy per plot per 6 days) tulips come in a close second but you can buy 3.5x the amount of tulips that you can buy kale.

[@NetraAmorosi]

Jazz would be a better option for honey, but yea flowers in general are good as gifts to NPCs and for increasing the value of honey, with fairy flowers I believe producing the best honey. Too bad you can green house the hives and have them produce honey based on the nearby flowers.

[@GoblinKnightLeo]

No, but you can put loads of Bee Houses all over the forest and get mountains of Wild Honey - plenty of raw stock for making Mead. And if you have the Automate mod active, you can even make the honey automatically collect in chests - and then auto-brew in Kegs.

On my first run of the game, I had no idea what I was doing and still had barely accomplished anything by the end of the second year. On my second run, however... I rolled Parsnips into more Parsnips, into more Parsnips. I used foraging items to make up the money in the meantime. I'd forage a ton, get more Parsnips, repeat. Until the Strawberries. I poured every single cent I had into Strawberries. I spent the rest of that first Spring babysitting those strawberries because while I had access to build sprinklers, I didn't have the materials to do so. It was a very large crop that needed watering every single day. I rolled the Strawberry money into Melons. I babysat Melons for the entire Summer season. I rolled the Melon money into Pumpkins for the first Fall. I had 5 million in money by the end of that first year. I dedicated winter to upgrading my tools and exploring the mines. By the time winter was over, I had all my tools except the Pickaxe at Gold Quality. Spring rolled back around and I had been crafting sprinklers through the winter as well. I began working on everything else in the game, including the Community Center. I also romanced and married someone (Penny). I was sitting pretty with about 4 million in my pocket, so I began work on achievements as well. By the time Year 2 was done, I was sitting on something like 60 million dollars, I'd completed the Community Center, had all my skills maxed out, had almost the entire town at 10 hearts, and most of the achievements. Min/maxing can be... a somewhat boring way to play. Though, I still haven't completed my museum collection yet. Still, it's rather tedious to do.

[@notsosadbart6343]

Another great tip is to spend the first couple of days scything all the grass on every part of the farm, forest, and a couple spots in town. Doing that gives you a chance of mixed seeds being dropped, and when you start the game you can usually get about 30+ and those crops are basically free money since you don't spend money or energy (using the scythe doesn't expend energy) getting them. Since mixed seeds are randomly picked from the crops available in whatever season you plant them in, (besides strawberries or anything that's a "starter" like grapes or hops) and sometimes you can get a bunch of free cauliflower or potatoes early on! It's also really good for summer since mixed seeds can grow into corn, which lasts multiple seasons and is constantly regrowing

[@jondorthebrinkinator]

One neat trick I discovered, though timing is pretty tight on it, is that even though you can't grow cauliflower in time to get money for strawberries, you can grow one to complete the spring crops bundle and get 20 free speedgro. I recommend tilling and watering those 20 spots in the morning before the egg festival because you'll have to run to the CC at 10pm that night to get your prize. Planting those 20 strawberry seeds with the speedgro on the night of the egg festival will get you three harvests and a fairly significant amount of extra cash (or extra seeds for next year). You can hold off planting the rest until the next few days and still get two harvests from the rest of the seeds.

[@StevenSendak]

Fun fact for those planting 1st year strawberries: speed gro will give you 3 yields instead of 2 before the end of the month. Plant two cauliflower and two beans on day 1 (replicates to account for day 1-5 crows), and potatoes and parsnips during the first week and you should be able to get the 20 speed gro bundle ON the day of the festival. You can grab a few more if you get 2-4 tappers set up on pine trees by 7th or so, and keep at least the same number of clams you forage from the beach. Time will be tight, so be sure to water in the morning before the festival, and you should probably keep the stuff you need for the CC bundle (parnsip, potato, bean, cauli) on you so that you can sprint back into town and then the CC to fill the bundle at night. If you plant the strawberries in speed-gro soil on the night of the festival you'll get harvests on the 20th, 24th, and 28th.

If you struggle with energy early game, your best bet would be to level up foraging skill to level 1 and create a whole bunch of field snacks. They have decent healing and energy restoration factor, and it only takes 1 of each tree seeds to create. Salmonberry season in spring and Blackberry season in autumn also work wonders when it comes racking up cheap food with decent restoration value (especially powerful if you take the gatherer-botanist line in foraging skill)

[@PIETURTLES1]

My personal favorite summer crop is hops. They’re easiest if you have a sprinkler so you don’t have to water AND harvest them everyday, but I usually make a patch of about a a hundred of them. When they’re fully grown, the produce everyday and getting a hundred hops everyday and selling them is 2,500g a day. I also tend to keep the lower quality ones to turn into pale ale and pickled hops since that brings up the value!

[@otaviocamanho1135]

Forgot to mention Hops is actually one of the best of them all, probably THE best, grow every day after 14 days and become pale ale once put on kegs.....HUUUUUUUGE money there Also forgot to mention that buying just 1 flower per season is ok if you have bee houses

Pale Ale doesn't sell for that much though. The only good thing about it is that keg processes hops much faster than the many fruits used in wines, but that's about it.

I have learned that kale is really not worth it. It gives no farming xp since you use a scythe to harvest it, it's not quite as good as potatoes moneywise since you get extra potatoes for every 4, and even though it is the most food possible per plot in the spring, there are two better cheaper options for that (tulips and parsnips). There are a few recipes that use kale so you will need it for that.

[@david2869]

I heartily agree with you on the hops, they are one of the best crops to plant overall in the game, and so often overlooked by most people. Not only can you make a lot of money from them with pale ale, and get lots of farming xp, they also are the best food crop in the game as each hop gives 45 energy. I usually use hops as my major food source after my salmon berries run out and before blackberry season.

I always end up running a coffee farm. They grow for two seasons, constantly produce beans that you can instantly plant for MORE coffee plants, they yeild 2-4 beans each harvest, and they sell for a pretty good price. I made money really fast this way

[@mirjanbouma]

I calculated this, and if you buy one bean at the 5th, plant all the beans through spring, then harvest but not plant all through summer, you should have 77 plants by the end, giving you 3448 beans, which sell for 51,720G (if they're all base quality, which they won't, so it will actually be more). Or you could make them into 689 coffees (leaving 3 beans) which are worth 103,350G (and 45+G from the three spare beans). Not bad! Yes, I did this for the lols

Lucky you...

[@pyromaniac000000]

So i was just replaying the game and went super into depth with the math for these crops, using the baseline of my late game farms size of 1150 spaces, but the findings would scale down. And i did this using updated things df didnt have 4 years ago, including hyper speed gro. Oh, and I used a baseline of 250 gold, 350 silver, and 550 normal quality per harvest, as is average with 10 farming. So my findings were such: In spring, its strawberries, hands down. Even rhubarb from oasis is honestly pretty crap. Even if you plant them the day of the first festival they are still the most profitable. But the better thing is plant as many as you can year 1, harvest them, keep them all, put them into a seed maker, get the greenhouse by fall, plant more there, seed maker all of those through winter, and do a giant strawberry field year 2. Most of those seeds were basically free, so the profit margins are HUGE. And if you hit 10 farming by the end of year 1, you were a diligent farmer, get agriculturist, you get an extra harvest. No speed gro needed, just free profit. And that perk will come in handy later. But until you get the strawberries just do parsnips for levels. Oh, and if you do want the margins, strawberries with only 5 harvests, not even the bonus 6th harvest from agriculturist, profits 820k. Rhubarb, the second best crop, with no speed gro of any kind gets 2 harvests with a profit of only 369k. And you can only get 3 harvests with hyper speed gro AND agriculturist, so just go for strawberries. For spring, again, clear cut winner, starfruit. The profit on these things are INSANE! But year 1 youll unlikely have the desert open yet, so instead, grow blueberries for profit. On my farm of 1150, after subtracting seed cost, melons would profit 500k, blueberries profit 640k, partially due to only buying seeds once for 4 harvests. But do note, multiple harvest crops only give farming xp on the first harvest, so maybe expand the field with the money from the first blueberry crop, plant some other crops, prolly melons for the gold stars, or anything on a short turnaround for xp. So yeah, if you have oasis access go starfruits, they are insane. If not, blueberries for pure profit. Now fall, fall is where it gets interesting. In spring, speed gro of any level doesnt dethrone strawberries. The only thing that COULD dethrone it is coffee, but that eats into your spring profits from starfruits. But fall? Fall has FOUR contenders, and this was where my math got a bit insane. So, the four contenders are artichokes, beets, pumpkins, and cranberries. I leave out sweet gem berries, because youll probably never get a full fields worth of these things, and even if you did, we’ll get to it later, but its still not efficient. So for fall, there are two things to look at. Best easy and best hard. Best easy is just what youd do for year 1, no speed gro, maybe agriculturist, but maybe not. The baseline. In this scenario, cranberries win easy. Artichokes get 3 harvests for 550k Beets get 4 harvests, with a mill every single beet makes 3 sugars for 50 gold each, making every beet worth 150 gold, same as a gold quality beet without the tiller perk, with tiller you make slightly more, but without it you make 598k. And everything here was calculated without tiller. With tiller it gets 613k. Just multiply the numbers by 1.1 to get tiller profits for everything else, beets are just special. Pumpkins are second making 642k in 2 harvests Cranberries you plant once but get 5 harvests, profiting 707k on average (with an average of 10% chance for an extra cranberry on each one harvested) So with no speed gro, cranberries win easy. But here comes the bombshell. WITH speed gro, the best case scenerio, things get interesting. So first off, ima throw away artichokes. They are technically second best here, BUT they are the only one that requires hyper speed gro at all to reach its maximum profits here, the rest only need deluxe speed gro. But if you were wondering, with hyper speed gro and agriculturist you get 6 harvests for 1.1 mil profit. Cranberries are also out, you cannot get more than 5 harvests, even with hyper speed gro+agriculturist. Speed grow only affects the first harvest, not the regrow rate. So its profit is unchanged. Pumpkins are actually third here, with just deluxe speed gro you can get a third harvest bringing it up to 963k profit. But the grand winner in fall is actually beets! With deluxe speed gro+agriculturist, you can get a grand total of NINE HARVESTS! Yeah, NINE! Even buying seeds every time, when converting all normal and silver quality beets to sugar, without tiller you make 1,345,000. With tiller you get up to 1,379,000. Also fun fact this would produce just over 31000 sugar, which is a monstrous amount of the sweet stuff! This method combines willy wonka and walter white into one ruthless sugar dealer lol. But the ultimate winner, unsurprising, ancient fruit. Plant day 1 in spring, use deluxe speed gro for one extra harvest (its worth it) and you can get 750k every single WEEK, WITHOUT TILLER! With tiller its about 825k. And in my farm i currently have, i also have 330 kegs in the quarry, so converting 330 normal quality fruit each week plus just the silver and gold quality ones and saving the normal quality leftovers for winter brewing, i make just over 1 million gold every single week. Which makes beets ~1.4 million for a full season seem utterly pathetic in comparison. And heres my easy trick for this, use winter seeds, fill your field full near the end of winter with them, let the seeds rot as the season changes, and the sprinklers will water them all, none of the spaces will become unhoed. no need for hoeing or watering, just a much quicker scything. I get the whole 1152 field scythed, fertilized, and planted, all by about 10 pm on day 1 of spring. Once you get the greenhouse plant a bunch of ancient seeds there and make more seeds out of them, rinse repeat until you can make a field of them in spring. Oh, and oasis sells deluxe speed gro on Thursdays for about half the price of pierres shop, and oasis sells it year 1 while pierre only sells it year 2 onwards. Oh, and while sweet gem berries will make approximately 1 million more than a season of ancient fruits, because they can only be planted in fall that means you would have to cripple your spring and summer profits to plant them, because you would not be able to clear a huge field of ancient fruits in one day, unless you use bombs, but collateral damage is guaranteed there. But even still, id say just stick witb ancient fruit, for the main farm. Now, you could use the ginger island farm for sweet gem berries, since they grow all year there, instead of just in fall. So if youre gunna do big rare seed crops, do them on ginger island not the main farm

[@Noah-ws8ho]

This is all without taking into account artisan goods, though. Hops + kegs is, insaneely OP in summer. Can honestly contend with starfruit with the right setup, it's all about having *enough kegs*. While starfruit has better keg efficiency, Hops with kegs and artisan profession give you an absolutely absurd value multiplier of 119 x your initial investment. Starfruit+deluxe speed grow only value multiply by ~ 50 (since you can't actually reinvest your second crop for the third crop as wine, due to the keg wait time). More keg efficient, though, as said. But starfruit also not really an option at the start of the first summer - so if you're going for a keg empire (IMO, clearly the best value strategy), first year the best summer crop by far is Hops. Since fall crops suck anyways (just... dissapointingly worse than hops in every way) and winter is well, winter, the lower (but really not that bad) keg efficiency of your hops isn't nearly as much of an issue - you can brew the absurd quantities of hops your produce over summer (should be in the several thousands) over those seasons when you have nothing better to do than build more kegs. I think it honestly might be most efficient to just treat Fall like an extension of winter, tbh. Forget about planting anything, just spend all the time and money you have building an absurd number of kegs for your thousands (ideally, tens of thousands) of hops.This lets you almost completely ignore building kegs in Summer - prioritize *more hops, nothing else* (almost nothing else. See to tapping your oak trees on a rainy day, and making a quick buck/getting energy reserves on forageables. Non-rainy days - you'll be watering, and nothing else), you have all of Fall to do nothing but build kegs (and brewing a little to cover the cost of your materials), and all of winter to do nothing but brewing. If we take your amazing farm of 1150 squares as an example (without deluxe speed grow); this strategy nets you a revenue of > 8million in year 1. Let's say 6 million, because buying all those materials for all those kegs is very expensive (you *will* be buying all the wood/ore, no way you can gather enough) but, nonetheless; absurd quantities of money.

[@sparkbag_]

"who doesn't like big melons" you're a genius XD also, here's a few things I wanna point out First of, melons are Penny's favorite gift, so if you want to make her happy quick you can build up a small stock of those to keep and give them to her every day. Corns and pumpkins are also used to complete the community center, you need to get them gold quality too. Flowers aren't actually useless in your first year. You might want to put together a few beehives although you will need to get maple syrup from the trees which requires ressources that are important, but if your main focus is money, you can grow some flowers and put the beehives next to them, you only need one of them to power more than one beehive, not exactly sure how much is required but, once you get the flower-induced honey, it is worth *alot*, as much as an ancient fruit actually! I know that a single fairy rose can upgrade your honeypots for them to be worth over 670 gold!

[@smaragdchaos]

It's not really worth it using beehives regardless of the flower

one last thing, in summer if you can place a lot of kegs plant hops, they make pale ale it is the most profitable beverage to do (not most expensive, most profitable initial cost to outcome)

Personally I say wheat is worth your time, as it is multi-season, extremely cheap to purchase, quick to growth and extremely quick to gather. Basically, you just plant a lot of it, in a section of the farm that's not getting watered by sprinkler or yourself, letting rain and/or wife do it, making money through volume that can't be managed by anything else, without sprinkler. The only time you should water wheat is, toward the end of autumn and you were unlucky with rain, for that last batch of wheat you planted.

@@smaragdchaos no but if you put the beehives on your farm they produce honey without you having to do anything, so there's really no downside to it in the long run. plus you can gift it or make mead out of it. unless you have space concerns or don't want to use the resources to make it there's not reason not to have honey, & planting a couple of cheap flowers increases its value.

This advice works in the first year when I mostly sell raw crops and prioritize the little ores I make for tool upgrades.

I also have some kegs so I’m making hops and pale ale. Artisan stuff allow me to expand my farm variety and it’s so much fun.

It's really good to buy more strawberry seeds then you think you need in the first year, as in the unlikely case you do complete the greenhouse bundle, that's great for quick profit.

A summary of the best crops per season as stated in this video, plus tips I've learned along my time playing SV as well as ones DF gave in the video: *Spring* *Normal crops:* Potatoes & strawberries & coffee (The sooner you can get strawberries going the better, save some from year one and grow them day 1 of spring the next year.) *Special crops:* Ancient fruit (If you can find them, the sooner you get them growing the more profit you will make. Put ancient fruit into a seed maker to make more ancient seeds for large profits in spring and summer, year-long if you can get the greenhouse going.) *Summer* *Normal crops:* Blueberries & coffee & corn (Coffee planted in spring will bring a lot of extra side profit in from planting them early in spring. Corn planted as early on as possible is also going to be the best for profit, the longer you wait the less profitable it becomes.) *Special crops:* Ancient fruit & starfruit (They are very expensive but very profitable, plant these early on for max profit. Read above for ancient fruit tips.) *Fall* *Normal crops:* Cranberries *Special crops:* Ancient fruit & sweet gem berry (Preferably, save your ancient seeds and rare seeds for your greenhouse unless you have a surplus of seeds due to the seed maker. Plant these as early as you can for max profits.) *Winter* *Normal crops:* Winter seeds (These you can make from foraging the winter foragables in winter, or getting them as rewards via the community center. These are the only naturally grown plants in winter.) *Special crops:* Any special crop listed above (As long as you have a greenhouse.) *Overall tips:* Use fertilizer ALWAYS. Even low tier fertilizer will do. Get the greenhouse unlocked ASAP. Save your ancient seeds and rare seeds until you can grow them in their respective seasons, turn at least some of the fruit into seeds with the seed maker to begin growing your hoard. Use scarecrows efficiently. A normal scarecrow covers a space of 248 spaces all together, about 8 spaces out on all sides. A deluxe scarecrow can be obtained and/or crafted after collecting all 8 rarecrows, and it affects a grand total of 888 spaces, or about 16 spaces out on all sides. Always plan for the next year. If you grew strawberries from the first festival in spring of year 1, save some of them and put them in the seed maker to use in spring of year 2. Planting them as early as possible will yield a far greater profit. Fairy seeds are useless if you are selling the flowers themselves, however, they are the most profitable honey-flavor type ingame. Plant them near bee houses to increase the produced honey's value from a base of 100 gold to 680 gold. They also have a chance to spawn a fairy at night when they become mature, resulting in some of your crops instantly becoming mature and harvestable.

[@cayreet5992]

I wouldn't grow strawberries right after the egg festival, but wait until the next year ... you miss out on quite some strawberries that way, because they carry several harvests, so plant them on the first day of spring of year 2 instead. Plus, by then, you have preserve jars and can turn them into jam for more money.

[@Spamhard]

Yeah but if you plant them straight after the festival, you still get a couple of harvests from them and gain your money back easily. I made a big chunk of money from strawberries on my first year just by planting them straight away. All you have to do is save a few until you get a seed maker, which you should have by your second year, so really it's a win/win planting straight away, I think. Buy 10 seeds at the festival? Plant it all straight away, then just make sure to save 10 strawberries in a chest to shove in a seedmaker once you get one :3
